The Ryft, stock, is squirrelly, and likes to flop over on it's side if just ripping around on flat ground. It's a great kit though. I love how beefy rhe transmission it. It looks strong enough to rip a 1/5 scale buggy around.

I really wish Horizon hadn't done away with the kits. One of the funnest RC's I've built to date.

I agree with Kevin, in the stock format, it's a bit of a handful. We built two units, one as a crawler and one as a rock racer. The crawler build listed here is quite impressive. If you want to make it a go-fast machine, it needs some tuning.

This is the rock racer version. Tekno shocks complete change this machine.

It needs that lower stance. I have my preload set all the way soft, and it still sits too high.

Oh, and as per usual - gorgeous RC @MVRCA

Devil is in the setup details for sure. LF springs on Tekno MT 410 shocks keeps this thing glued to the ground.

Yeah, I have Vitavon followed on ebay. I haven't done anything to our Ryft since building it and 3d printing a roof for it. The only reason I printed the roof is because the very first outing, it took a bad flip towards the parking lot and skidded on its roof, scraping deep enough into the cage to get past our fancy dye work. I couldn't stand looking at it, and wasn't about to try to re-dye another part to match. Let alone pull out the required 673 screws to remove said part. So the 3d printed roof was actually done faster than I could replace the part
